Curtain Going Up Diane Warnick and George Lavne discuss the wonders of the future, in the setting ofKing Arthur ' s Court. On November 9 and 10, the Oak Park High Drama Ckib members pre- sented A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur ' s Court in the auditorium. Playing the lead as Hank Bennet was George Layne who, only last year was Nat Miller in Ah Wilderness. Hank Bennet was a young man who was mysteriously capable of turning back to 508 A.D. The play started off in a New Eng- land home and was suddenly taken back to the time of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table. As the play progressed, Hank Ben- net stupefied King Arthur and his court with 20th century magic. The success of the play should be attributed to the Drama Club ' s spon- sor and director, Mr. Robert Wurdock, and, of course, to the large number of students participating.
